  • Carries two Maurten 160 gels on their long distance Sunday runs. SiS gels if they don't want to spend the extra $1 on Maurten.

  • Asics Novablast 5 or Adidas Pro 3 for long runs. Alphafly 3 for the 5k pace interval workouts. Wouldn't be caught dead wearing Hoka's, as they're for beginners

  • Strava workouts usually titled "Easy 32k at 4:20min/km pace. Thanks for the push [insert Strava buddy name here]!"

    • Bonus points if they do a shirtless selfie afterwards
  • Wears a Coros Pace 3 or Garmin Forerunner 165

  • Wears a Solomon running belt

  • Owns a Bob & Brad massage gun, because the running influencer they religiously follow on YouTube (probably Ran To Japan) convinced them it's better than a Theragun for half the price
